Lopes shrugs off criticism ahead of UFC 325

    Diego Lopes will challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the UFC featherweight title at UFC 325 in Sydney on Saturday.

    He says backlash over the promotion choosing him over unbeaten contenders Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy reportedly doesn't faze him, and that critics should take their complaints up with the UFC rather than with him.

    Lopes secured the opportunity after a September knockout that returned him to title contention following an earlier loss to Volkanovski.

    He indicated a rematch or a different challenger could follow depending on the result and Volkanovskiโ€™s future plans, while stressing his immediate aim is to win the belt.

    He also said he wants the bout to be tougher and more memorable than their first meeting, without committing to what comes next.
